Fat Quarter Kid’s Apron Tutorial

With the kids home for summer are they helping more in the kitchen than they usually do? My kids are and it often results in a mess. To make my life a little bit easier I made a kid’s apron tutorial with just one fat quarter!

This apron tutorial is fast and easy, and it doesn’t need a lot of fabric. These aprons would make the perfect handmade gift, and one of these aprons could even be sewn by older kids!

I have two kids that love helping me in the kitchen. They want to pour everything and mix everything. It’s great that they want to learn, but there’s always a mess.

These aprons keep their clothes clean so there’s less cleaning that has to be done after a cooking session.

The great thing about these aprons is that they only use one fat quarter of fabric and some bias binding. This makes it a budget friendly project!

Fat Quarter Kid’s Apron Tutorial

The long side of the fabric will be going up and down the body. Use a bowl or plate to draw curves on the top corners.

Cut the corners off.

Cut three pieces of bias binding 16 inches long each.

Baste one piece of bias binding onto the top of the apron right where the curves start.

Baste one tie to the center of the long side of the apron. Do the same to the other on the other side.

Tie a knot on the end of each of the waist ties.

You will now finish the edges of the apron. Start by sewing the bias binding along the bottom flat edge of the apron. The bias binding will be cut so there will be raw edges on both sides.

Fold the short edge of the bias binding over to finish the edge.

Line up the newly created fold of the bias binding with the bottom edge of the apron. Sew the bias binding all the way around the the sides and top of the apron.

Press the bias binding well and you’re finished!

If the top loop is too long feel free the tie a knot to make it shorter. The plaid bias binding stretched out a lot on one of my aprons so I had to tie a knot to make it shorter. But now it’s perfect for growing into!
